IN THE RING (THE CUTTING EDGE)
Edge + Matt Hardy + Vladimir Kozlov: Edge said there was a lot of heat between he and Jeff Hardy. Edge claimed that Triple H attacked Jeff on the morning of Survivor Series. Edge said despite the facts, everyone is pointing their finger at him! Matt Hardy came out and said it was Edge who took out Jeff before Survivor Series. Edge said all he did was step up to the plate and help his wife, Vickie Guerrero, even though he wasn’t 100%. Matt said he knows more than anyone that Edge is the scummiest person on the planet (that is true). Edge told Matt to look at the big picture, and suggested Randy Orton was the one who took out Jeff Hardy. Maybe the Miz and John Morrison, better yet, what about the Undertaker, or the man who had the most to lose, Triple H? Matt said all the facts point to Edge, and said he came out to get the truth. Edge said the truth was the only reason Matt is getting involved in his brothers business is because nobody cares about Matt. Edge said Matt was the ECW champion, but if he was attacked before Survivor Series nobody would care. Edge said people actually care about Jeff Hardy. Matt punched Edge down to the match, but Vladimir Kozlov snuck in from behind. Matt turned his attention to Kozlov, so that Edge knocked Matt down from behind! Kozlov then assaulted Matt Hardy and put him down with a Choke-slam!
RAW HIGHLIGHTS: The Great Khali winning the Slammy for “DAMN! Moment of the Year”
